Most amphibians undergo metamorphosis during development. The axolotl is an amphibian that does not undergo true metamorphosis, remaining in a semi-juvenile state.

No, a koala does not go through metamorphosis. Metamorphosis is a biological process in which an animal undergoes a distinct change in form and structure during its life cycle, typically from larval to adult stages. Koalas are marsupials and their young, known as joeys, develop and grow inside their mother's pouch after birth, but they do not undergo metamorphosis like insects or amphibians.
During development amphibians stay in the pond or lake where they were born.
In the early stages of development, amphibians live in the water they breathe with gills as an adult an amphibian lives on land and uses lungs to breathe.
They grow lungs, and lose their gills.
Animals that go through metamorphosis include insects like butterflies, beetles, and moths, as well as amphibians like frogs and toads. During metamorphosis, these animals undergo drastic physical changes as they transition from one life stage to another.
The scientific name for animals that can live both on land and in water is "amphibians." They include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. Amphibians typically have moist skin and undergo metamorphosis during their life cycle.
A change in the form and often habits of an animal during normal development after the embryonic stage. Metamorphosis includes, in insects, the transformation of a maggot into an adult fly and a caterpillar into a butterfly and, in amphibians, the changing of a tadpole into a frog.
No. Platypuses are mammals, not amphibians. No mammals undergo metamorphosis. Baby platypuses are hatched from eggs, and as the creatures grow, they gradually resemble their parents more and more.
Amphibians typically have larger cells than fish and birds due to their unique developmental processes and metabolic needs. Their larger cell size allows for more efficient gas exchange and nutrient transport, which is crucial for their dual life in both aquatic and terrestrial environments. Additionally, amphibians undergo complex metamorphosis, requiring larger cells for the growth and development of various tissues during different life stages. This is in contrast to fish and birds, which have adaptations suited to their respective environments and life cycles.
